Thanks to all who responded...
To change a user's password via CLI:
/usr/bin/ldapmodify -h HOST -D "cn=directory manager" -w PASSWORD
dn: uid=USER,ou=People,dc=DOMAIN,dc=COM
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: newpassword
console/GUI several agreed is not best utility out there for these types
of tasks.

Subject: ldap - how to change userPassword value
>From man passwd, I see you can do a
passwd -r ldap <username>
but when I try to do that I get permission denied
I was hoping there was a way to pass in cn=Directory Manager
But I don't see it.
I also went to the IDS (sun directory server) console & tried to do it
thru there, but I have some confusion around what shows up there. There
is a password attribute but I don't believe it's the userPassword. I
guess I don't yet grasp how the attributes & values of some of the
objectclasses map & how to edit them
bash-3.00# ldaplist -l passwd jbeck
dn: uid=jbeck,ou=people,o=xxx.com
cn: jbeck
uidNumber: 1675
gidNumber: 1008
gecos: Joe Beck
homeDirectory: /home/jbeck
loginShell: /bin/ksh
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: account
objectClass: top
uid: jbeck
userPassword: {crypt}4jshG123YQxxx
shadowLastChange: 13248
shadowFlag: 0
I fell back on the delete the acct & readd it due to meeting a deadline,
but would like to know the correct process for future needs.
